Everything you need to know about London from architecture to accents and great music.

Colme Forde, co-founder of the "Doc' n Roll Film Festival", previews this year's programme of music documentaries, including "Newport and the Great Folk Dream", while renowned producer Joe Boyd reflects on the Newport Folk Festival era and his involvement in the film; designer Thomas Heatherwick discusses his studio's transformation of London's Olympia district; and singer-songwriter Margaret Glaspy talks about "I Am Both", her new album inspired by stepping away from social media and reconnecting with her creative instincts.
